ABSTRAKLatar Belakang:  Kanker serviks adalah kanker ke dua terbanyak  pada wanita  di  dunia. Memprihatinkan  lagi penderita  datang  sudah  dalam stadium lanjut. Hal ini disebabkan  karena persepsi fatalism yang   tinggi dan  tingginya  fatalism  tersebut  karena  pengetahuan   tentang  kanker serviks yang kurang. Beberapa penelitian menyebutkan persepsi fatalism terbanyak dijumpai pada wanita tua. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui perbedaan hubungan pengetahuan tentang kanker serviks dengan kanker serviks fatalism antara wanita usia reproduksi dan pasca reproduksi. Metode :      Jenis  penelitian  observasional  dengan  rancangan  cross sectional. Subyek penelitian adalah wanita usia usia reproduksi dan pasca reproduksi  di Kabupaten Klaten. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini sebanyak 207 wanita. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik multistage stratified random sampling. Analisis data dengan summary mean, standar deviasi, distribusi frekwensi,  Independent t Test, Pearson Correlation dan regresi linier. Hasil:  Hasil  analisis  didapatkan  bahwa  terdapat hubungan  bermakna antara pengetahuan  kanker  serviks dengan  kanker  serviks  fatalism  pada usia pasca reproduksi dengan  nilai  r -0,68  dan  p value 0,000.  Secara  keseluruhan  terdapat hubungan  yang bermakna antara pengetahuan  tentang  kanker serviks dengan kanker  serviks   fatalism dengan nilai r = - 0,371 dan p value 0,000. Pendidikan terutama pendidikan rendah mempengaruhi kanker serviks fatalism. Kesimpulan :  1. Pengetahuan kanker  serviks  semakin  rendah  akan meningkatkan  kanker serviks fatalism, 2.Tidak bermakna hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dengan kanker serviks fatalism berdasarkan strata usia.Kata kunci: Pengetahuan, Usia, Kanker serviks fatalism.THE RELATIONSHIP DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CERVICAL CANCER AND CERVICAL CANCER FATALISM AMONG REPRODUCTION AND PASCA REPRODUCTION AGE WOMANABSTRACTBackground:  Cervical  cancer  is  the  second  most  common  cancer  in women worldwide. Unfortunately, most patients are detected in having this cancer when it is in an advanced stadium. This is due to a perception on high  level  of  fatalism  and  the  perception  is  caused  by  the  lack  of knowledge  about cervical  cancer.  Some studies  have reported  that the perception on fatalism is most found in elderly women. Objective: To study the relationship difference between knowledge about cervical cancer and cervical cancer fatalism among reproduction and pasca reproduction age woman. Method: This was a descriptive and analytic study with a cross-sectional study design  using quantitative  and qualitative  methods.  Subjects  were age  reproductive and post reproductive age women in Klaten District.  Samples  were  207  women selected with a technique of multistage stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed  with summary  mean,  standard  deviation,  frequency  and distribution, Independent t Test, and Pearson Correlation and linear regression. Results:  The  findings  revealed  that  there  was  a  relationship  in post reproductive age with the value of r = - 0,68 and p value 0,000. There are a relationship in generality with value of r = - 0,371 and p value 0,000. Howeever, education was related to cervical cancer fatalism. Conclusion :1. The lower  level  of knowledge  about  cervical  cancer  would increase  cervical  cancer  fatalism. 2. The relationship of knowledge about cervical cancer fatalism in post reproductive age women more significant than in reproductive age women.Keywords: Knowledge, cervical cancer fatalism, reproductive and post reproductive age women.

Aim: This research was carried out to examine the relationship between breast cancer fatalism and fear in women. Methods: This research, which is planned as a descriptive and relationship seeker type, was conducted between March and May 2020 with women living in Iğdır. Results: According to the findings obtained from the study, it was found that the total mean score of breast cancer fate of individuals was 4.42 ± 2.58, and the average total score of fear of breast cancer was 23.67 ± 7.03. A statistically significant relationship was found between the total mean score of breast cancer fatality, total point average of fear of breast cancer, and age (p <0.05). Conclusion: Women's breast cancer fatality and fear of breast cancer were found at a medium level. It is recommended that the study be carried out in larger groups.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Abstract This commentary focuses upon the relationship between two themes in the target article: the ways in which a Markov blanket may be defined and the role of precision and salience in mediating the interactions between what is internal and external to a system. These each rest upon the different perspectives we might take while “choosing” a Markov blanket.

Abstract Cognitive Gadgets offers a new, convincing perspective on the origins of our distinctive cognitive faculties, coupled with a clear, innovative research program. Although we broadly endorse Heyes’ ideas, we raise some concerns about her characterisation of evolutionary psychology and the relationship between biology and culture, before discussing the potential fruits of examining cognitive gadgets through the lens of active inference.

It is well known that a large flux of electrons must pass through a specimen in order to obtain a high resolution image while a smaller particle flux is satisfactory for a low resolution image. The minimum particle flux that is required depends upon the contrast in the image and the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio at which the data are considered acceptable. For a given S/N associated with statistical fluxtuations, the relationship between contrast and “counting statistics” is s131_eqn1, where C = contrast; r2 is the area of a picture element corresponding to the resolution, r; N is the number of electrons incident per unit area of the specimen; f is the fraction of electrons that contribute to formation of the image, relative to the total number of electrons incident upon the object.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

The in vitro human tumor cloning assay originally described by Salmon and Hamburger has been applied recently to the investigation of differential anti-tumor drug sensitivities over a broad range of human neoplasms. A major problem in the acceptance of this technique has been the question of the relationship between the cultured cells and the original patient tumor, i.e., whether the colonies that develop derive from the neoplasm or from some other cell type within the initial cell population. A study of the ultrastructural morphology of the cultured cells vs. patient tumor has therefore been undertaken to resolve this question. Direct correlation was assured by division of a common tumor mass at surgical resection, one biopsy being fixed for TEM studies, the second being rapidly transported to the laboratory for culture.
